When we were at the beach this weekend (we got home late last night), I told the kids that I wanted them to help me collect a collection of “ring around it” rocks. My kids take this kind of thing seriously, bringing me their finds, introducing each one, critiquing it and guessing whether or not I’ll deem it worthy for my stash. They came through with the ring-around-it rocks, big time.
When we’re still at the beach, it’s hard to know what the point of lugging all of these rocks home will be (my wife wonders aloud about this exact question whenever I start stuffing my pockets with stones). I have so many ideas about using these rocks (what you see here is only a small sampling) and making something beautiful out of them with my camera. Each one, alone, is just a rock. When you put them together with each other, art happens.
